Some very happy and surprising news: I'm a Partner at @slow :) In an interview @KevinColleran asked me “where do you see yourself in five years” and I answered “not at Slow!” But big things take time and now I have more time to see things through.

@lessin I’m meeting Penn’s Claude Club in 30 minutes. I’ll show them this

@yrechtman yah just like unlimited PTO ... expense "as much as you want" ;)

Best perk of working at slow is unlimited token budget

@cmonjonser HMU

@yrechtman I'm working on some stuff in the IVF space and debating different approaches. Would love your thoughts – big fan of 99%D

Most healthcare “innovation” is zero-sum at best, negative-sum at worst. I want to see more more positive sum HC ideas that grows the surplus rather than shifting it around

@CraneMcrane @AnthropicAI You should come! We should’ve 3-4 slow founders speaking too

@yrechtman @AnthropicAI Big get!

Super stoked for this: we're hosting founders, operators, security leaders for a ≈100 person cyber security mini conference in NY next month We'll have @AnthropicAI head of cyber and NatSec policy for a fireside chat Link below to sign up

@gork book the venue for me and find sponsors so I don’t need to pay for it. Make no mistakes

How do I rent an imax theater to screen dune part 3 in NY @grok

@buccocapital @toddsaunders not to go all 7 powers here but "creating application software" may be hard (and may now be easier!) but it was/is never a moat or structural advantage just like hiring, selling, etc. are not moats. it's all execution x.com/yrechtman/stat…

@toddsaunders “The moat in software was the cost of building software. And Claude Code just mass produced a bridge.” This is not true at all

I heard an incredible analogy from a VC friend that I can’t stop thinking about. “The moat in software was the cost of building software. And Claude Code just mass produced a bridge.” It’s wild when you think about the impact of this. The SaaS boom produced a few dozen billionaires and a bunch of zero sum winners. But the AI SaaS era will mass produce millionaires. There will be fewer ServiceTitans hitting $5B valuations, and instead there will be 50,000 companies doing $500K-$5M each, run by 1-3 people with deep expertise and huge margins. To be clear, I believe that the total value of software goes up, and the number of companies created goes up exponentially. But the number of people who capture the value also goes up 100x. I don’t believe in the “SaaS is dying” headline, I think it’s missing the point. It’s simply that the power of SaaS is changing hands.

@weltdog Ah yes. I am always right

@yrechtman On retail, struggling to be proven

@yrechtman's retail agent take validated with $WMT leaving the OAI partnership

@gerstenzang @IlirSela @finkd Perhaps before they started it?

@IlirSela @finkd wouldn't the more courageous move to have been shut it down even earlier? :)

This is why @finkd is one of the best founders of our time. How many leaders would have the courage to shut it down vs. throw more $ into a bad strategy to avoid looking bad?

Master of Bots for Slow? I am interested in hiring a 'master of bots' to work on software and bot stack at slow / build internal (and maybe external apps, etc) with me. This isn't a for sure role, but I am for sure interested -- application below...

Person reading To Kill a Mockingbird: "This is a really racist book, the jury's conviction makes no sense and is only because Tom is black"

@Rick_Zullo @DormRoomFund We must have gotten the same email 😤

Just gonna say it, @DormRoomFund is killing it If you are a LP and not investing, then I don't understand what you are not seeing

@KenziesPoolBoy exactly

@yrechtman These books were so weird.

Time to seize on the Dune momentum and make a 6 part mini series.

@ElSneakySnacker you're totally right. picking up on the little things and demanding more from your systems is how you get better.

@yrechtman I’ve been feeling it as well for the last 10 days. Lost me at “Holy shit! You are so right!”

Not sure if I'm imagining it but it seems like Opus 4.6 is suddenly doing a lot more GPT-style obsequiousness: "killer insight" "that's a big idea" "you're onto something there" hate that.

@dante_rebelo yes

@yrechtman Are these good? Being seeing more about these.
